Salifert Calcium Test Kit

Description

• Calcium is a major constituent of calcareous algae, skeletal material of hard corals and the skeletal needles of soft / leather corals.
• Calcium also fulfills many biological functions.
• Low calcium concentration retards coral and calcareous algae growth.
• Natural saltwater contains 400 450 mg/L calcium.
• In a stable aquarium environment the calcium content should not fluctuate by more than 15 mg/L.
• Calcium test kits should be able to monitor comparable fluctuations.
• In a healthy aquarium growth and multiplication of corals, desired calcareous algae and other organisms results in calcium depletion.
• Use of a calcium additive together with an accurate test kit are important for monitoring and maintaining proper calcium levels.
• Saliferts calcium test is capable in resolving the calcium content in 10 mg/L steps.
• The color change is sharp and facilitates the detection of small but highly significant fluctuations in the calcium concentration.
• The kit can perform approx. 50 – 100 measurements.
